It would appear that AOSPA isn't just back, it's here to stay. Today the developers for the project have announced a new release with a handful of new features, bug fixes, and support for six new devices, including the OnePlus One, Nexus 6, and one of our favorite new-old phones, the Nextbit Robin. New features include an Accidental Touch mode, Pocket Lock, and a new collaboration with Shuttle+.

Shuttle+ is a popular Material Design music player, and it has a few great features like the ability to Cast local content to compatible devices, scrobbing to Last.fm, and batch creation of playlists. And, now the app comes bundled with AOSPA images. Thankfully, if it isn't to your preference, the app doesn't get in your way and can easily be disabled.

Accidental Touch is a new feature, sort of like palm-rejection, that is meant to prevent accidental input from hardware navigation keys while interacting with other parts of the screen. If you play a lot of mobile games, and often find yourself accidentally thrown back to your home screen due to such a misplaced nudge or tap, then this is the sort of thing you can appreciate. Think of it as an immersive mode for hardware keys. And, much like all ROM features, if you don't like it, you don't need to use it.

If you have used a OnePlus 3/3T or OnePlus 5, then Pocket Lock is a familiar feature. It allows the device to check the proximity sensor before accepting input, so that if it's in your pocket and the power button gets nudged, you won't end up butt-dialing half your phone book, or taking 30 dimly-lit macros of pants pockets.

Here are all the new devices supported in the latest release:

bacon - OnePlus One

onyx - OnePlus X

gemini - Xiaomi Mi5

shamu - Nexus 6

Robin - Nextbit Robin

zl1 - LeEco Le Pro3

The OnePlus 2 and Nexus 5 didn't make the cut just yet, but they should see support soon. OTA support is now fixed as well, so future updates should be delivered much more easily.

If you'd like to download the latest images, they should be up over at the AOSPA downloads page here.

AOSPA's press release, which includes a full changelog, is below.

Press Release

Paranoid Android 2017 - Release 2 (7.2.0)

Over the past month, we’ve been working hard squashing bugs and implementing new features. We have also managed to increase our device roster so more of you could enjoy Paranoid Android on your devices.

Pocket Lock

This feature prevents any form of accidental input when your device is in your pocket by disabling input sources. You can simply release Pocket Lock by long pressing the power button as highlighted by the minimal UI in case of any sort of obstruction or dust on the sensors.

Accidental Touch

Accidental Touch is a feature useful for many, especially the gamers out there. It prevents any sort of accidental touch on hardware buttons while the touchscreen is in use. This means you won’t experience any unexpected behaviour while playing games, web browsing or even when attempting to reach your finger out to the edge of that humongous display.

Improvements to Color Engine

With this release, we are introducing gray as a new primary and accent color which will sit alongside our already present colors. Also, we have fixed all known compatibility issues with Substratum Theme Engine.

New Devices

As promised we now feel that the OnePlus One, OnePlus X and the Nextbit Robin are stable enough to be included in our roster along with several other devices detailed below:

bacon - OnePlus One

onyx - OnePlus X

gemini - Xiaomi Mi5

shamu - Nexus 6

Robin - Nextbit Robin

zl1 - LeEco Le Pro3

You’re probably wondering why the OnePlus 2 didn’t make it to the list but worry not, it’ll be up as soon as we can ensure good quality for it. Same goes for the Nexus 5 (Hammerhead).

Sony

We personally also want to support the Sony Xperia line of devices and we teased a post of the Xperia Z3 Compact and the Xperia X both running AOSPA somewhere in the community recently. However, our infrastructure is not able to cope with the vast number of devices. We’d like all Sony users to answer in a poll for which devices you’d like to see added and we’ll support the devices with the most amount of votes.

We are proud to announce that the Paranoid Android team has managed to strike up a collaboration with the creator of Shuttle+ to bring you a feature rich, modern music player.

This brings benefits like:

Google Cast to your TV

Scrobbling to Last.fm

Embedded lyrics

ID3 tag editing

Batch creation of playlists

Themes

And much more

We’re excited to have this partnership and believe it will bring a better user experience for our users with a lot more functionality.

Release Management

After the first release a while ago, there were several device specific issues reported. We did not roll out device specific hotfixes as our OTA system (Paranoid Hub) was broken and forced us to provide an update for all devices at once (this release). This release fixes all issues for ParanoidOTA and you should receive device hotfixes whenever needed.

Actually I do hope they get absorbed by someone who lets them do their thing and they get money to do so. Think of a oneplus but better :D

Actually the software of the 1+ is getting better and better and that does not only come because of Google.

Just think of a Huawei but with good software?

aRvInD

PA used to be much sweeter than its as Oxygen OS now. If you've used PA 4.2-4.4 Android you'd remember them. Oxygen OS is just like Moto's stockish android.. Great devs getting absorbed is good but I was worried since custom ROM world is missing many such leaders these days...

h.k

Thats true. Think the best would be if only a few influencers would go to other firms and lead great stuff

I'm still waiting to see if they continue with the updates. I just don't trust them at the moment :)

Ryne Hager

Things look pretty good so far. I hope they can keep it up.

R Firestone ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ ᵀʳᵘᵐᵖ

Nexus 6 lives!!!!............ok at least on life support

C64

** trips over power cord **

Beeb .. Beeb .. beeb .. beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

Bewear

Boob, boob, booooooob.

aRvInD

Yeah with that ill fated 805 it still survives...!

Aufar Ramadhan

Well, that 805 is quite hot but I can still squeeze out good performance with my N6.
Looking forward for a phone similar to the N6...

R Firestone ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ ᵀʳᵘᵐᵖ

I have burn in, my audio jack doesn't work half the time, it gets hot, bogs down when I use Facebook messenger and Pokemon Go........ But damn it I still love my phone

blueman24

805 is a good SoC. Much better than the 808 and 810 that succeeded it.

Gustavo Santos

I still don't know why they removed Hover, I used to love it

Pedram Haghzaban

Should I install it? Or should I stay with O?

Ryne Hager

I dig it. If you miss Pie mode it might be worth giving a try, if you can take a nandroid backup. That way you can always restore if you don't dig it.

S_Dot

Can't find the download links in download page? weird site.

RNTMPX

Right! Downloading this ROM was always a difficult task!

Evan Anderson

The server is under a lot of load right now. If you don't see anything come up on the page, try again a little later.

Jadephyre

If it's available for the G4 Play at some point, i'll switch to it.

ryraansh

Does anyone know if Verizon visual voicemail works in the Google Dialer app now? Wasn't working in the last build.

Nexus 5 is nearly ready! We're working just a few more issues before releasing it.

Andrew Brereton

Is there anywhere to report bugs? My fingerprint sensor is only working intermittently when the screen is off on my Nexus 5X after updating.

CyberConCoder

Nexus 10 still stuck on KitKat with you guys. I'd love to run at least marshmallow (I am aware of camera issues in Nougat) in AOSPA form on my Nexus 10. LineageOS has been getting worse and worse here. I can't install launchers or some other apps without bootloops, and device performance has slowed to an absolute crawl over the last few months.
